Adrien Maigret and Frédéric Pommier win the P1000 – Open 4Padel Metz. In the final, against Yanis Muesser and Arthur Hugounenq, the game was complicated, but it went into three sets: 4/6 6/3 6/2.

An astonishing match with in particular a last set which lasted only 26 minutes. This part was not marked by long exchanges, but it was played a lot on the mental level.

Muesser / Hugounenq: a strong first set

In the first set, the match is balanced. No break point until Adrien Maigret's serve. The first and only break point is the right one, Yanis and Arthur create the little surprise by winning the first set. 6/4.

In terms of level of play, this is perhaps the most successful set.

The turning point

The Muesser / Hugounenq pair have had a very solid match so far. She even managed to win a shutout on Fred Pommier's serve. Muesser/Hugounenq leads 3/1 serve to follow. The tournament favorites are tough. We hear Adrien Maigret “pestilate” on his game, the grid, the supposed bad luck. A classic".

The beginning of the end

And yet, against all odds, it will be the beginning of the end for Muesser / Hugounenq. it starts with a phantom game from Yanis who makes three unforced errors and offers the white break.

Adrien and Fred, who didn't ask for so much, are relaunched in this final which took a bad turn for them. They play eight consecutive games! At 3/1 against them, they win the second set 6/3 and then lead in the 3rd set 3/0. Yanis and Arthur can only blame themselves. And all this in about 20 minutes!

Arthur and Yanis will even lose 12 consecutive points! On the track, there is only one pair left.

Regularity of Fred and power of Adrien

Fred continues his work of undermining by being more and more regular while Adrien carries out as usual improbable blows which frustrate Yanis and Arthur. The member of the France team is very fit. It fills in the gaps perfectly.

The match completely changed even if in the 3rd set, we see a burst of pride from Yanis and Arthur who are trying to get back into the game. But their absence has lasted too long and the Maigret / Pommier pair is completely confident and plays very well.

Another victory for Adrien Maigret in P1000, one more. It should be noted that he is physically very sharp and that these are elements that count for a selection at the European Games.

On the side of Yanis and Arthur, there is certainly frustration after this match because they had a very interesting first part of the match before collapsing mentally.

Final victory for the Pommier / Maigret pair 4/6 6/3 6/2.
